Chapter 7035
Compared with Ethan, Kongyin’s identity is not as sensitive.
Therefore, in Maria’s view, going to Kinkakuji to see Kongyin is much simpler than going to Eastcliff to see Ethan.
When Maria suggested that the monk at the door pass on the message,
The other party was indeed not as vigilant and cautious as Ethan’s guards in Eastcliff.
When the other party heard that Maria claimed to be a relative of Master Kongyin and that she was following the orders of the elders,
They instinctively chose to believe Maria’s words.
Japanese Buddhism was introduced from China.
Jianzhen brought Chinese Buddhist theories to Japan when he traveled east,
And Japan learned them in their entirety.
However, after the Meiji Restoration, Japanese Buddhism and the precepts of monks changed greatly.
Before the Meiji Restoration, Japan strictly adhered to the Buddhist monastic disciplines of India and China.
Monks were forbidden from eating meat or marrying.
However, after the Meiji Restoration, Japanese Buddhism gradually became secularized,
And most monks were allowed to marry and have children.
Given this environment, visiting temples to see one’s father or grandfather,
Let alone relatives, it was commonplace.
Although Master Kongyin never married, he lived to be over 120 years old.
Who knows if he had any relatives or friends in the secular world?
This seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, despite wearing a mask, was beautiful and lovely in her big eyes.
Her two ponytails made her look a little quirky, but at first glance,
She gave off a very sincere and innocent vibe.
I don’t think she would lie in a Buddhist holy place.
The monk then said, “Young lady, please wait a moment.”
“Our abbot is currently meeting with a guest and has instructed that no one should be disturbed.”
“I’ll inform him immediately after he’s finished.”
Venerable Kongyin had recently been spending three hours every morning discussing Buddhism with Venerable Jingqing.
He had also instructed that no one should disturb him,
And the monks at the temple adhered strictly to this rule,
Not daring to interrupt at this time.
Maria said, “This is urgent.”
“Please inform Venerable Kongyin as soon as possible.”
“He will abso

“But if you delay, he might actually blame you.”
“This…”
The monk hesitated for a moment, then, seeing that Maria wasn’t joking, nodded and said,
“Young lady, please wait a moment. I’ll go and inform you.”
Maria nodded and instructed him,
“Master, please make sure to convey what I just said in full.”
The monk then said, “Miss Zhengping is here, right? I understand.”
As he spoke, he pondered.
Zhengping was clearly a man’s name.
Could this little girl be Miss Zhengping?
It didn’t match her lovely temperament at all.
Maria reminded him again:\
“Also, please tell Master Kongyin that he is old and must not come to pick me up in person.”
“I will go in to see him myself.”
The monk was even more confused and thought:
“Little girl, even if your family has relatives with Master Kongyin,”
“Master Kongyin is over 120 years old.”
“And it is impossible for him to come in person to greet a little girl like you!”
“It’s really a dream…”
However, despite his surprise, he turned around and left very actively, running towards the main hall of the temple.
At this moment, above the main hall.
Master Jingqing had just finished reading the scriptures.
Master Kongyin dragged his tired body and kept clapping, sighing:
“The subtlety of Buddhism is that everyone will have different experiences after reading it.”
“The bigger the pattern, the bigger the world of discovery.”
“I have read this scripture for decades,”
“And I have read the Japanese version, the Chinese version, and even the Sanskrit version,”
“But I have never had such a profound understanding as Master Jingqing.”
“There are many details that I have never figured out in my life.”
“Now that Master Jingqing has pointed it out,”
“I suddenly feel enlightened, and my mind is opened.”
“I am truly grateful!”
Master Jingqing said humbly, “Master Kongyin, studying Buddhism is sometimes related to one’s state of mind.”
“Sometimes to one’s environment, and sometimes to opportunity.”
“The fact that I have such insights is not due to my profound understanding,”
“But largely thanks to opportunity.”
“If Master Kongyin were to encounter his own opportunity,”
“He would surely have even deeper insights than mine.”
For ordinary people, Buddhism is the textual sutras.
For monks, it is teachings, and for those who embrace Buddhism, it becomes a guide to practice.
Some things cannot be interpreted without reaching the appropriate level.
It’s like intelligence hidden in newspaper articles during wartime.
To those who don’t understand, it’s just an article,
But only those who master the specific communication codes can discern the core.
The same is true of Buddhism.
After Jingqing attained enlightenment, he revisited the scriptures and naturally gained a deeper understanding.
Had Kongyin never attained enlightenment,
Even if he had spent his entire life reading,
He would never have grasped Jingqing’s level of understanding.
Master Kongyin couldn’t help but sigh at this moment:
“Although the word ‘chance’ is simple to say, many people find it difficult to encounter it in their entire lives.”
“Especially a great opportunity like Master Jingqing.”
“It is hard to find one among millions of people.”
“How can I dare to ask for it?”
Master Jingqing was stunned.
His description of his own chance was a very vague concept.
It was almost like luck.
However, Master Kongyin’s words seemed to reveal a message,
That is, he knew very well what his chance was.
While he was shocked, he suddenly thought that although Master Kongyin himself had not attained enlightenment,
Perhaps he had met someone who had attained enlightenment.
So, he thought again and again, and asked:
“Master Kongyin seems to know what the opportunity I am talking about is.”
“What exactly does it mean?”
“Of course.” Kong Yin smiled faintly, waving his hand at the senior disciples around him.”
“With a weary expression, he said,
“You may leave.”
“I need to speak with Master Jing Qing privately.”
